Chapter 1515: Let's Just Pretend This Never Happened

Jiang Chenghao suggested, "Let's chat for a while."

"Aren't we chatting right now?"

"But you don't even dare to look me in the eye."

Who says I don't dare to look!?

Xu Xiaoxiao raised her head, her face still wearing an expression of resignation to her fate.

Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao like this, Jiang Chenghao was stunned for a moment, then amused into laughter.

And the smile grew wider and wider.

This made Xu Xiaoxiao knit her brows: "What are you laughing at? Is it that funny!?"

Perhaps realizing his smile was somewhat impolite, Jiang Chenghao tried hard to suppress his amusement.

Then he said, "About last time..."

Before Jiang Chenghao could finish, Xu Xiaoxiao spoke first: "Sorry, I was muddled last time and talking nonsense; let's just forget about it!"

Having his words snatched away, Jiang Chenghao was stunned for a moment.

Then, he let out a sigh.

That sigh lingered in Xu Xiaoxiao's ears, making her heart tremble.

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was wondering if she had said the wrong thing, Jiang Chenghao spoke:

"My attitude was also problematic; you must have been very embarrassed at the time, yet I acted all preachy—it really was annoying."

Xu Xiaoxiao felt this was wrong, so she corrected him: "It was clearly me who did the wrong thing, why blame yourself!"

"Because I made you embarrassed, otherwise you wouldn't have deliberately ignored me."

Hmm...

Having her inner thoughts exposed, Xu Xiaoxiao's gaze drifted again.

Then, with less conviction, she emphasized: "As for that message, I really didn't see it."

To this, Jiang Chenghao just smiled and said nothing.

And Xu Xiaoxiao herself knew that her words had little credibility.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Xu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said gloomily: "If we're talking about problems, mine is the biggest; I knew it was wrong, yet I was still acting out."

"You also trust me, knowing I wouldn't follow you in acting out; otherwise, why wouldn't you look for someone else?"

I have to say, Jiang Chenghao is truly too gentle.

He was worried that Xu Xiaoxiao would feel bad, so he pushed all the blame onto himself.

But he...

Didn't realize at all what the root of the problem was!

Fortunately, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't want him to know either.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao just wanted to turn the page on this matter quickly!

To achieve her goal, she even brazenly said: "Since we were both at fault, why don't we... just pretend this never happened?"

"That is exactly my intention."

"Then it's a deal!"

A smile returned to Xu Xiaoxiao's face.

Her eyes also became more lively.

Her relaxed smile made Jiang Chenghao unable to help but curve his lips as well.

However, his peripheral vision was caught by someone.

Glancing silently in that direction, Jiang Chenghao withdrew his gaze and said, "This Wang Sinian is both righteous and evil; you should stay away from him."

Bringing this up, Xu Xiaoxiao sighed: "I want to, but he's like a dog-skin plaster!"

"Do you need me to help you warn him?"

"That guy just gets more energized the more you talk to him, so better not."

"Then let's try another method to make him retreat in the face of difficulties."

To be honest, Xu Xiaoxiao had thought of plenty of ways.

But use them on Wang Sinian? They all failed!

Xu Xiaoxiao was truly depressed!

But for this kind of thing, it was enough for her to be depressed alone; she didn't want to drag Jiang Chenghao into it.

So she said: "I will handle it myself; if I can't handle it, I'll ask friends for help."

Jiang Chenghao glanced in that direction once more.

Then he said: "Fine, then now, I'll take you home, and by the way, let you see my manuscript."

Xu Xiaoxiao had an expression of surprise: "You're ready with the manuscript already?"

"Yes, I have the speech draft in my hands, so it's very easy to prepare."

Jiang Chenghao said it very lightly, as if he could produce a manuscript just like that.

But Xu Xiaoxiao knew it wasn't like that.

This Jiang Chenghao's initiative and execution were truly outstanding!

While secretly admiring him in her heart, Xu Xiaoxiao nodded and replied: "Okay."

"We might be discussing until very late, why don't I order takeout? What do you want to eat?"

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't expect Jiang Chenghao to be so thoughtful and felt a bit flattered.

And in front of Jiang Chenghao, what to eat... did it even matter?

Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Anything is fine, I'm not picky."

"How about this one?"

As Jiang Chenghao spoke, he took out his phone and showed the food delivery picture on it to Xu Xiaoxiao.

The picture was of a fried chicken combo.

Seeing it, Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up!

It looked so tempting!!

Seeing this expression on Xu Xiaoxiao, Jiang Chenghao knew she was very satisfied with this combo.

Since that was the case, Jiang Chenghao said, "Then in a while, we'll order this."

His words left Xu Xiaoxiao confused: "Haven't you already ordered it?"

"This isn't my order page; I asked a colleague before getting off work what girls like to order for delivery nowadays, and he sent me a screenshot, telling me to order according to what's on it."

Now it seemed, the colleague's suggestion was very reliable.

Meanwhile, in Xu Xiaoxiao's mind, a single sentence kept circling:

Jiang Chenghao actually asked others and sought their opinions for her sake!!

Xu Xiaoxiao's heart was beating wildly!

On one hand, she told herself that Jiang Chenghao was just kind, which was why he was so considerate to everyone.

On the other hand... she couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from curling upward!

Finally, Xu Xiaoxiao secretly pinched herself to control her increasingly radiant smile.

Jiang Chenghao's attention was not entirely focused on Xu Xiaoxiao.

Therefore, he did not pay much attention to the changes in Xu Xiaoxiao's expression.

After casting a deep glance toward a certain corner, Jiang Chenghao extended an invitation to Xu Xiaoxiao: "Let's go."

"Okay."

Xu Xiaoxiao put on a shy expression and followed behind Jiang Chenghao to get into his car.

Yet she didn't notice at all that Wang Sinian, in the corner, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Hmph, this woman...

She ignored him, but turned around to greet Jiang Chenghao with a smiling face, looking shy and timid?

Had she forgotten that Jiang Chenghao had rejected her?

And what was so good about Jiang Chenghao that could make Xu Xiaoxiao care about him so much!?

The more Wang Sinian thought about it, the angrier he became; in the end, he even took out his phone.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao was chatting with Jiang Chenghao about her new book.

Her phone suddenly rang.

When she saw the number on the screen, she couldn't help but frown. The next second, she hung up directly.

But the other party was persistent and kept calling.

Eventually, Xu Xiaoxiao compromised; she answered impatiently and asked, "What is it?"

"I have a headache."

"Then go find a doctor."

"My headache only started after being treated by you; there's a problem with your treatment! So you need to take responsibility for this!"

Wang Sinian spoke righteously.

Xu Xiaoxiao, however, remained unmoved and even snorted coldly: "Are you trying to scam me? How come Qing Ze doesn't have any issues?"

"Qing Ze?"

"He's Xin'ai's younger brother, and also a patient. He's full of energy and even went to play basketball!"

Tell me, having received the same treatment, Liu Qingze saw results after just one session.

And he has undergone changes from the inside out.
